Ultra Academy in the Central Continent of Akapov Planet.
In October in Ultra Academy, there is already a hint of coolness in the air.
The evening breeze blew slowly from the southwest of the academy, caressing the lake, crossing the square, lifting the clothes of passers-by, and bringing the slightly damp grassy and earthy smell unique to the Wisdom Forest to the people of Ultra Academy. Every corner.
The wind gently shook the treetops, and the leaves rustled in the evening breeze. An autumn leaf that had been enjoying life wantonly in the summer and had prematurely withered was shaken by the wind and spiraled down.
No regrets. This is your destiny.
It falls under the tree, dissolves into the soil, becomes the nutrients of the mother body, and then becomes a part of nature again.
It falls off in autumn and returns to fragrance in spring.
"The way of heaven is like this, what can I say?"
What¡¯s more, the mother body that gave birth to itself is such a giant tree with lush branches and leaves.
Finally, I took a proud look at the tall body that I was once a member of, and it will throw itself towards the end of its destiny without regrets.
However, on this final journey of destiny, an unexpected obstacle appeared.
A crystal goblet shaped like a newly opened tulip bulb happened to lie across its path of fall.
The red wine served in the crystal goblet is crystal clear and the color is as pure as ruby.
What greeted it was the bright crimson
Fortunately, at the moment when it was level with the mouth of the cup, the fallen leaf was held firmly by one hand.
On one of the main branches of the lush giant tree extending sideways, there is a shallow groove, which is just long and wide enough for a person to lie down. The owner of that hand has been sitting there quietly since just now.
However, he was dressed in black and habitually blended his entire body into the shadows, giving no one a chance to notice his presence.
Even the left hand, which is holding the fallen leaves and is as stable as a rock, does not feel like it belongs to a complete body, but more like a ghost floating in the sky.
But as the moonlight passed, the owner of the hand surrounded by clusters of dark cyan, thick in the center and slightly thinner at the edges, in the shape of a rhombus and slightly fragrant, finally stood up, exposing his profile to the silver moonlight. Down.
Looking from the side, the man has a slightly slender face with a pointed chin. Because of this face shape, even if he is in his twenties, to people who meet him for the first time, he still looks more like a boy than a young man.
However, such a slender face, combined with the eyebrows that are equally elegant in appearance but flying like swords, and the eyes with the same color as the eyebrows, which are as dark as the deep night, the bridge of the nose as tall and straight as a peak, and the thin lips that rarely smile all day long, Then he naturally burst out with a rare fierce momentum. Freeze the footsteps of anyone who tries to get close to you outside the cordon, and don't dare to take even a step beyond the thunder pool.
Release your fingers and let the fallen leaves in your hands continue their final journey of destiny.
Holding the wine glass in front of him, Shadow Ya, the vice president of the Natural History Research Society, sat alone on a century-old tree in the woods outside the clubhouse, as tall as three people could hold him in his arms, quietly sipping the wine in the glass.
Liquor is a specialty of Juniper County in the western mainland. Long before the establishment of the Acapov Alliance, the Juniper region, which is blessed with unique sunlight and soil quality and is rich in red and purple agate grapes, was already a world-famous wine-making resort.
And the long tulip-shaped wine glass paired with red wine is the perfect wine vessel for tasting this kind of wine.
He didn¡¯t choose the wine glass himself.
Every girl in the Natural History Research Society is a smart and beautiful woman who is attentive and tasteful.
Except for someone who lacked a living foundation in the past and is now clearly banned from drinking, if it were any other girl in the club, there would be hundreds of fine wines displayed in the club¡¯s wine room. No one would get the wrong one. cup.
????????????? How a group of people who rarely drink alcohol, and even if they do, only drink alcoholic beverages with low alcohol content, know so much about these things, has always been a puzzling thing.
However, a long time ago, some people had objections to the choice of wine vessels.
"Grape wine luminous cup. According to our Oriental habits, drinking wine requires a luminous cup."
I remember that one day not long after I entered school, my black-haired friend once shook his head and said this when he saw me drinking wine for the first time.
"By the way, I remember that there seems to be a set of luminous cups in our club's wine tasting room." The man murmured, patting his head as if something suddenly occurred to him.
?"I don't know where they got Zi Tong. If they can still be found, this can just be mortgaged to the Central Credit Bank of our college to ease our tight economic situation this month." After such a high-grade speech , what comes to the speaker¡¯s mind next is no longer the warm conversation over wine, but naked money and numbers.
The experience of living together these years told him that although his black-haired friend never lacked romantic feelings, if there was a conflict between reality and romantic feelings and he had to choose between the two, his friend would Choose the former without hesitation.
However, as for him who just pursues the taste itself, he really doesn¡¯t care much about the choice of wine vessels.
?Compared with those who are fussy about eating utensils, they emphasize that 'all 82-year-old red wines have only one correct way to drink them and can only have one correct taste. ¡¯ As a so-called gourmet, he is more willing to enjoy different flavors every time.
"Actually, there's nothing to worry about at all. It's the same dish as yesterday. You might as well replace the sauce with vinegar and the sugar with salt."
One day after that, when a girl was worried about the lack of fresh dishes in the bento for a date that day, his friend who was the first to recognize her pursuit of taste and pay attention to practicality suggested this.
Although the friend said the above words out of good intentions, many times, in similar incidents, he learned from the cold and charming girl who had a slight hostility towards him from the first day they met. , can't get a good result.
Although the girl wanted to maintain her identity, she did not say anything too harsh for such words that seriously disrespected her cooking skills and hurt her fragile girl's heart. But that night, through his purple-haired close friend, a similar dish was placed in front of him, allowing him to carefully appreciate the anger and resentment in his heart.
Looking back now, this kind of thing seems to happen from time to time.
Since he met his friends, life has developed in a direction he never expected.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As long as you have those friends by your side, you don¡¯t have to worry that your life will be lonely and boring.
Many times, when he was among friends and recalled all the past events before arriving here, everything in the past seemed to have faded into some kind of illusory dream.
Only when you are alone like now, under the stimulation of alcohol, and through the thin fog, will the past events in your mind that seem to have gradually faded become clearer bit by bit.
I am a shadow.
¡°I have been wandering alone for as long as I can remember. I don¡¯t know where I was born, what my parents looked like, whether I have any brothers or sisters, and who was raising me before my death
Since I have no way of knowing everything, I soon no longer care.
At that time, all he wanted to maintain was the fact of being alive.
When he was a child, silently observing and learning, when he knew that everyone should have a code name for others to call him, he let his name be Shadow.
Living in the world like a shadow, even if he is standing next to others, no one will notice his existence.
The family¡¯s reputation, one¡¯s own dignity, the pride of descendants, and the evaluation of future generations
The various meanings given to the owner by a name are of no value to him.
No one noticed, no one cared, and no one ever asked his name.
"My name is shadow." I can only tell myself every day.
He couldn¡¯t remember how long these days lasted.
Until that day
For the first time in his life, he was solemnly asked his name.
It was the same day
He has another word for his name
tooth.
